In the thirteenth year of the Great Guang Dynasty, in the ninth month of the lunar calendar, in the city of Beiping, in the Qinzheng Palace, Qu Kun and Shi came together, and the former reported to Yang Lin on the current situation in Europe. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

"Emperor Qiqi, according to the latest information, after the defeat of the French army in Leipzig, they quickly retreated to Mainz, but it was only a short stay, and all the French troops withdrew from Prussia to the mainland, and the whole situation showed a situation of a large retreat of the French army."

Yang Lin was very calm and not surprised, since he left Siberia last year, he has been more concerned about the war situation in Europe. Yang Lin has always been a must-see military briefing, and he is not surprised by the current situation of the French army.

In last year's French campaign against Russia, although he Yang Lin sent one of the most elite cavalry, he helped most of the French army retreat. However, this does not change the reality that no matter how amazing Napoleon is, his men are not like him, and there are always limitations. A series of war developments made Yang Lin even more prepared, and a certain foresight judgment that the defeat of the French army in Leipzig was inevitable.

After all, the mighty First French Empire had only one Napoleon, and it was impossible to support the entire war.

As a sentence today, if you are not afraid of a god-like opponent, you are afraid of a pig-like teammate.

It is clear that Napoleon was very capable of fighting, and all the battles he personally commanded were rarely defeated. However, his marshals and generals did not perform satisfactorily, and as soon as Napoleon left, he lost his position and suffered frequent defeats, which completely disrupted Napoleon's strategic intentions, operational deployment, and worsened the overall war situation.

However, after the defeat at the Battle of Leipzig, the smaller countries attached to France rebelled and joined the anti-French alliance against Napoleon. For a time, the situation in France was very bad, and it could be subverted at any time.

These thoughts only lasted in my mind for a moment, and then I saw Qu Kun suddenly ask: "Your Majesty, my subordinates really don't understand that today's Russia has been cut into two parts, east and west, and we can't echo it." At this time, I really don't understand, what did Tsar Alexander I think? It is really unbelievable and incomprehensible that he should join the anti-French alliance and unanimously deal with France, instead of pouring the whole country into confrontation with us and taking back Siberia. ”

Hearing this, Yang Lin shook his head and said earnestly: "In the first war between Russia and France, not only Napoleon suffered heavy losses, but also a lot of losses in Russia. ”

"That~ Your Majesty, since that's the case. Why did Russia join the anti-French alliance? Once we have a firm foothold in Siberia and a complete defense system is established, it will not be far off for Russia to become a second-rate country, or even a smaller country. Such a choice, choosing to deal with Napoleon with all his might and clean up France, is too presumptuous and abandons the overall situation. ”

After Qu Kun finished speaking, Yang Lin's mind came up with the offensive and defensive map of the European war situation, and the troops of the anti-French alliance had already shown a trend of encirclement with iron barrels, and the troops were pressing.

The British Empire, the Russian Empire, the Kingdom of Prussia, Sweden, Hungary, and the small states of the Rhine Confederation, the forces of various countries gradually converged, and besieged the various units of the French army, and by virtue of the absolute superiority of their forces, the marshals under Napoleon were forced to retreat.

"Your Majesty, is there any conspiracy in it?" Shi Shi followed Qu Kun's topic closely and threw out a doubt.

Yang Lin nodded, and said slowly: "Since the Russian-French war last year, although the Russian army drove out Napoleon and inflicted heavy losses on the French army. However, he himself suffered heavy losses, and a large number of soldiers with actual combat experience and excellent military qualities died in the Russian-French war. In today's Russian army, most of the soldiers are newly recruited recruits, and they have no combat experience at all. After fighting with the Northwest Army of the White Tiger Legion and part of the army of the Xuanwu Legion, there were so many casualties. As long as their commander is not a stupid pig, he will never confront our troops head-on. Otherwise, it would be like a moth to a fire and kill itself! ”

Qu Kun and Shi both nodded lightly in deep understanding, and the latter said with emotion: "Yes, let's not talk about the current combat effectiveness of the Russian army, their national strength alone cannot support a big battle." ”

"Your Majesty, Weichen agrees with Minister Shi's statement. In last year's Russian-French war, the Russian army adopted the strategy of fighting in great depth and clearing the wilderness, so that the French army went deep alone. Although in the end Napoleon was defeated and the French army was driven out. However, the damage to his own country is also enormous. Qu Kun added.

"You two are right! Therefore, if Tsar Alexander I wanted to recover Siberia, it was simply impossible for him to do so. Only by cooperating with other countries, forming an alliance, and relying on the strength of other countries, can we have the strength to fight with our large army. ”

A word woke up the dreamer, and Qu Kun said suddenly: "Your Majesty, do you mean that the reason why the Russian army participated in the Sixth Anti-French Alliance was also a last resort, and it was a gesture of goodwill to win over European countries, so as to prepare for the battle to recover Siberia in the future?" ”

Yang Lin nodded again, and just wanted to answer in the affirmative, but Shi Shi said first: "It's not too good~?" Although the European countries are now a community of interests, they have the same goal: to defeat the French army, occupy Paris, and overthrow Napoleon's rule. But that's about it. Once Napoleon was captured and the anti-French allies won the final victory, which countries in Britain would agree? Agreeing to Russia's request to form a new coalition army against our large army, was Tsar Alexander I a little too naΓ―ve? ”

Yang Lin and Qu Kun were silent at the same time, unable to refute this view.

Yes, there is no doubt that the European countries formed an alliance against France. That's because the Napoleonic regime encroached on their interests and wanted to annex their respective countries and form some United States of Europa.

However, Siberia is located in Asia, very far from Europe, and is a matter of Russia. In this way, they have no basis for cooperation, how can they form an alliance?

The most crucial point is that Shi did not point out that no matter when, whether the national strength is strong or weak, Russia is a fighting nation with an endless desire to expand its territory, how can those European countries not have a little bit of a grudge against him?

At this time, Russia lost nearly one-third of its territory at once, was dismembered into two parts, did not border each other, and its national strength suddenly shrank significantly. For those countries, not falling into the well and not beating the reservoir dogs is already a sign of goodwill, how can we help Russia recover the lost territory?

Unless, of course, the leaders of those European countries were kicked in the head by a donkey and had abnormal nerves to accede to the request of Tsar Alexander I. After all, there are strong neighbors on the side, they are still very belligerent, and their ambitions are not small, and they will be uneasy in any country they put on them.

There was silence for a moment, and then, Yang Lin still said earnestly: "Anyway, one day in the future, after France's complete defeat, no matter whether the European countries agree to Russia's request or not, our Great Guangzhou Dynasty must make adequate preparations to prevent trouble before it happens." ”

As the vice chairman of the Military Commission, Shi Shi echoed and said: "Yes, Your Majesty, I and Prime Minister Zhuge have done this, arranging all the people who need military service in India Province, North Korea Province and the nearest Mongolian Province to Siberia for military service. ”

"Moreover, along the eastern banks of the Ob River, every dozen miles, there will be an army station. Every day, patrol teams patrol back and forth along the river, even if the Russian army forms a new alliance with those countries in Europe, a new coalition force, once they approach Siberia, our army can detect it at the first time and effectively block it. ”

In a trance, Yang Lin remembered Russia before the crossing, which was a big energy country, rich in oil and other resources, especially Siberia. Although sparsely populated, the land is barren and the climate is extreme. But ~ oil and gas reserves there are extremely abundant.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin suddenly said: "By the way, Minister Shi, after the meeting, you immediately organize an oil and gas exploration team to go to Siberia to see how the oil and coal reserves are there?" ”

Hearing this, Shi Shi understood the deeper meaning, and said excitedly: "If you can find deposits of coal and oil in Siberia. Then the imperial court would be able to develop it on a large scale, and as the people gathered, the control over Siberia would become more and more solid. ”
